From the Editor As we conclude preparations for our Autumn/Winter 2022 issue, we bid a fond farewell to ‘Fotografe!’, the Florence exhibition on women photographers, spotlighting archival treasures from the Alinari Foundation for Photography, which brought the works of extraordinary women into the public spotlight at Villa Bardini and Forte Belvedere. Wanda and Marion Wulz and Edith Arnaldi and their legacy have become part of our lives, as have the people we were fortunate to encounter through this enriching partnership whose memories fill these pages. The restoration of Artemisia Gentileschi’s Allegory of Inclination, whose initial steps are documented in this issue, provides a unique opportunity for the public to ‘meet’ Artemisia UpClose, as the project name suggests. It is an honor to begin to tell that story forged in paint centuries ago; its power and beauty continue to sustain us. Hats off to the project’s expert technicians whose science and manual skills will reveal the painting’s unknown secrets. We are committed to documenting each discovery as it brings new color to the canvas’s multi-century life, for our readers – and the world – to enjoy. In the issue’s third segment, we are transported to the Royal Academy of London and the Levett Collection in Florence, to name just two venues waiting to be explored, and we hope RC’s articles will succeed in whetting the appetite for ‘more’, as far as stories of women’s achievements are concerned. If that is the case, the magazine’s editorial team will have reached its own precious pinnacle of ‘achievement’, that of spreading the word on all the worthy work women do and have done, in bygone centuries and today. Thank you for being part of our growing community. Fondly, Linda Falcone Managing Editor, Restoration Conversations Autumn / Winter 2022 • Restoration Conversations 3
